There is no infrastructure in place to move freight to or from Manston Airport. As a matter of interest, the A299 was extensively resurfaced a sort time ago and it is already undulating in places due to the existing movement of heavy lorries and trucks.
One of the proposed flight paths goes directly over Herne Bay and my village of Beltinge. The additional noise and additional pollution will have a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of all residents.
I moved here five years ago and the area was unaffected by aircraft. For a only few months during this period, for one afternoon a week, flights (about three aircraft) did go across the village and it was horrendous. To consider this would be occurring twenty four hours a day, seven days a week would blight the area with noise and pollution.
